Longest day of my life... [Completed! FINALLY!]

[mother-crapper.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Cid and his crew, Jenova, Miles Edgeworth
Content: Later part of the day in Cid's modest little shop...
Setting: Cid's shop, across the street from the center branch of the Actua Are.
Time: Friday afternoon
Warnings: Jenova is ugly and Miles is a gay lawyer?



Cid didn't know if he could take much more of this Paixao place. Since he'd arrived, he'd had his life threatened and his store trashed more than once, and it hadn't even been a goddamned week. Traverse Town had been a bit dull, honestly, what with the lack of customers and all, but he'd give anything to be back there right about now.

He and Cam had started working on a buggy right outside of the shop all morning with the assistance of some of the others in his shop--it wouldn't take long to finish now. He just hoped it would hold up okay... and that they could bring it on the train. Because while he didn't want to call his craftsmanship shoddy, he didn't think that it was a wise idea to drive it all across this god-forsaken continent.

It sure was refreshing to do some hard work, though.

"I certainly have no intention of going anywhere in this weather," said Jenova primly, rather flustered by the way the quiet shop had suddenly turned into a center of activity. "Mr. Cid, would you object if I wait here until you return?" she asked, hoping he heard her over the bustle. She had to confess she was interested in seeing what sort of mess Cloud had gotten himself into now. Her wayward child had an amusing tendency to attract trouble even when it had nothing to do with her.

But until then, the waiting would be unpleasant. She felt uncomfortably exposed surrounded by this many strange people. (Very strange, in some cases, though admittedly Jenova didn't have all that much experience of what normal humans acted like.) And yet-- it seemed that not all of them were strangers, since she had just caught sight of a familiar labcoated figure by the door. "Hojo! It's such a relief to see you again, my faithful Professor. You do remember me now, don't you? I may no longer be in a specimen tank, but I hope I'm not easily forgettable."
